Keep your preparations to yourself, whether we're we're talking your PSK/FAK or the backup generator behind the garage. Peer pressure is a funny thing, it might even tempt you to leave your equipment behind to avoid ridicule or questions. The only time anyone else needs to be aware of your readiness is when there is an actual need for your readiness. Until then discretion should be the watchword. At least that's what experience has taught me and it's the rule that I now live by.
